FAO: jthorneuk We also have a Tompkin Post master, did you ever find out how to fix yours? The clutch has gone on ours. Where do you get the parts?!

No... despite a lot of work I could never get the clutch to grip on the cable enough. Its still sat in the field and I paid a man and a tractor to come and put the posts in. Its only good for scrap now i think.

I have the same problem (waiting for a contractor), so I got a tractor and topper and now need a post thumper.

I bought a case 695.It's a medium size and 70 HP, but most post knockers I have looked at are the hammer type, as the drop down type cannot get at posts in awkward corners ect, so it has to be a hammer type.

So far I've seen about 5, all too heavy in my opinion, as when the come down on the post the shock plays hell with your tractor. I know at least 2 contractors that have wrecked thier tractor by using heavy thumpers.

To be honest I'd wait for a contractor to do the post banging, if and when he shows up...It's been about 3 years since I first asked him and at least once a month since.

I have 150 stakes waiting on the yard...just hope it's not a hard winter and I have to use them for firewood

I had the same problem, waiting for contractors to put fence stakes in the ground, in the end i converted a post knocker to fit on my mini digger, it works great, i can even reach across streams and put stakes in with it

Went to another farm sale today as there were 2 post bangers there. Both these needed a very big tractor to hang them on..But Guess who was there..The fencing contractor. I said 'if your not coming tell me now and I'll buy a post knocker'. coming next week...bangers made �360 and �400 each.
